The ONC Jira Core and Confluence support team will soon implement an account deactivation policy for all users who have not logged into the systems within the previous 90-days or more. To avoid the risk of having your account being deactivated, please immediately log into ONC Jira Core and Confluence as soon as possible.
Accounts that are deactivated will be retained, including historic activity. Users are able to reactivate their accounts using the correct credentials used prior to deactivation. If a user has forgotten their usernames or passwords, they can email onc-jira-questions@healthit.gov to request reactivation.
Reminder: Do not include any PHI or PII in JIRA. If you require 508 accessibility assistance, then please send an email to onc-jira-questions@healthit.gov
Login Support: If you encounter a captcha prompt, login issues, or believe your account may be deactivated and require assistance, please send an email to onc-jira-questions@healthit.gov
SME Session 6: Methodology for Supporting Multiple Production Versions of FHIR
This SME Panel Session will focus on the proposed solution to address barriers related to Versioning, developed by the FAST Directory, Versions and Scale Tiger Team. The group of SMEs invited to participate in this session will be asked to evaluate the team's proposed solution, "Methodology for Supporting Multiple Production Versions of FHIR", and provide expert insight, feedback, and guidance.
The proposed solution aims to address issues related to the existence of multiple versions of FHIR in production (e.g., DSTU2, STU3, R4) with breaking changes between them. Until FHIR becomes “normative” (i.e., content is stable between versions), the industry will need a way to manage different representations of the same information in different FHIR versions. The FASTteam has proposed a solution for how to handle version control more effectively in various scenarios, potential tooling to reconcile different versions, and recommendations for what organizations can do to mitigate these issues.

SMEs Panel Session - An industry discussion around the FAST proposed Methodology for Supporting Multiple Production Versions of FHIR (2 hours) (closed session, by invite only)
Date/time: 3-5PM ET
Scope and goals: The goal of this session is to elicit SMEs expert insight into proposed solution(s), specifically:
Feasibility and effectiveness
Potential gaps
Unintended consequences
Alternate approaches to consider
Industry path forward (standard, regulation or policy)
FAST’s goal is to analyze and identify HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) scalability gaps and offer possible solutions that will address current barriers and will accelerate FHIR adoption at scale.
To learn more, you can review the FAST Action Planfor a snapshot of the progress made by FAST so far.
Next Steps following SME Sessions
FAST Report-Out to summarize session discussion, decisions, and next steps
FAST Action Plan updates to define proposed solution path (standard, regulation and/or process)
